When did Fox become total wussies

First that Lame ass superbowl, with all the watered down ads, and although Sir Paul rules,the halftime show needed more energy. Now a few minutes ago they run a "Be nice to muslims" p.s.a spot during 24!!!!!!

What happened to the network that brought us Married with Children , and Cops?

That's funny, all I saw was a PSA reminding us that all Muslims are not terrorists. What's wrong with that?

Actually I think all the other networks are like FOX now, so they don't seem to stand out as much as they used to.

IMHO, I don't see what all the fuss is (was) about the halftime show. Hell, I didn't even watch most of it. But what I saw was pretty good. That's usually when I'm eating, drinking, and getting ready for the second half anyway. The only performer that could've kept me glued to the set is Jimmy himself.

The network is still conducting research to see if there are sufficient numbers to make such a claim.

They didn't have to... they did it because some idiots in this country have injured and killed Muslims and even an Indian Sikh because they happen to LOOK like the terrorists who attacked us.

They've never run psa's that said "blacks are not all killers, drug dealers, and hookers" during any police dramas from the 70's till now

Take your pigeon-holed view of life somewhere where people who share it can play with you.

Peace.

Maybe Fox needs more open-minded, equality-loving contributors like him, Jen.

Did I mention race? I think you are very quick to slot everyone into whatever convenient "packages" you see them as fitting into. Maybe sponsors of shows like "24" see a need for some awareness.

Maybe there wouldn't be a need for PSA's like that if people would realize it's JUST A TV SHOW FOR PETE'S SAKE.

the PSA's that get a big

from me are the anti-smoking/drug
ones.. ALL your kids friends are high

And the anti smoking ones are just wrong. and for those of you who do not know.. I do not smoke and have never.
